Crick sits at the beating heart of the Golden Triangle, right beside the M1 (Junction 18) where it meets the A5 and the A14 to the M6. Its defining feature is DIRFT — the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal — a rail-road intermodal hub and 430-acre warehousing estate whose occupiers read like a roll-call of national distribution: Tesco, Royal Mail, the Co-op/NHS supply chain, Dunelm, ITX and Kinaxia, with Marks & Spencer building a 1.3 million sq ft food distribution centre. The adjoining Crick Industrial Estate adds further units. Rail links carry containers straight to the deep-sea ports. With Rugby, Daventry, Lutterworth and Northampton all minutes away, Crick is one of the UK's most concentrated logistics locations.
DIRFT's mega-sheds run around the clock, and that scale makes flexible labour essential: rail arrivals, grocery and parcel peaks, contract launches and absence all demand extra hands at short notice to keep despatch on schedule. WSUK supplies temporary warehouse and forklift teams — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT drivers — inducted for the terminal's high-volume operations. We manage vetting, right-to-work checks, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, so labour arrives cleared and lawful. As volumes surge for a peak and ease afterwards, we flex headcount to match, giving Crick operators dependable cover without permanent overhead.
Tell us once what you can do and which shifts suit you, and we will match you to sites near you as they come up — rather than making you apply over and over.
The core of most warehouses: picking orders to an RF scanner or voice headset, packing to a spec, and getting them out to the carrier on time. The usual way in if you have never worked in a warehouse.
Booking deliveries in, checking them against paperwork, unloading containers and trailers, and loading outbound. Physical work, and the part of the building where accuracy matters most.
Counterbalance, reach, PPT and VNA driving for ticket-holders, plus team leader and supervisor roles for people who have run a pick face or a shift before.
WSUK covers Crick and DIRFT, plus the Crick Industrial Estate and neighbouring Rugby, Daventry, Lutterworth and Northampton. From a single counterbalance driver for a shift to a full multi-shift picking and loading crew for a rail-fed distribution centre, we mobilise vetted temporary warehouse and forklift staff fast across the M1 J18 catchment.
WSUK recruits across the whole warehouse floor. If you are starting out, picking and packing is where most people begin and there is no experience needed. If you hold a forklift ticket, or you have led a shift before, you will earn more and we will usually have something live. Register once and we will come to you when a shift near you fits.

Picking, packing, goods-in and goods-out, loading and forklift roles come up most often around Crick, across day, night and weekend shifts. General operative roles need no previous experience; forklift roles need a current ticket and pay more.
It depends on the site and the shift. Some estates around Crick are on bus routes during the day but are hard to reach for a 6am or a night finish. We will tell you what the realistic travel options are for a specific site before you accept it.
For picking, packing and general operative roles, no. Most sites train you on their own system in the first shift or two and the induction covers manual handling and site safety. Experience matters for forklift, VNA and team leader roles, where you will also be paid more.
Most general warehouse roles run £12.71—£14.00 an hour, forklift roles £13.00—£15.50, and team leader roles £14.50—£18.00. Nights and weekends usually carry a premium on top. Every rate we advertise is at or above the National Living Wage.
No. Charging a work-seeker a fee for finding them work is against the law in the UK, and WSUK never does it. The employer pays our fee. You are never asked for money for training, PPE, checks or placement.
